A panda is a living thing because it can respond, grow, breath and eat and it has more than one cells.... A panda will respond when we do some scary stuff. it lives in a tree and here are more details.

A panda eats leaves,stems and bamboo stick and its a mammal.

This playful animal reaches about 59 inches (150 centimeters) in length from nose to rump, and weighs about 220 to 331 pounds (100 to 150 kilograms). Pandas live in temperate climates in broad leaf and coniferous forests where there is plenty of bamboo to satisfy their voracious appetites. Today, the giant panda can be found in about 20 areas of mountain forest in the Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces of China.

Task 2:

Kindom: Animalia

Phylum: Chordata

Clade: Synapsida

Order: Therapsida

Class: Mammalia

Order: Carnivora

Family: Ursidae

Genus: Ailuropoda

Species: A.Melanoleuca

Meaning of these words -

Animalia- it means the the kindom of this is a animal

Chordata - Chordata means the body structure of the the animal, for example,spinal cord and notochord and many more


Synapsida- Synapsids (Greek, 'fused arch'), synonymous with theropsids (Greek, 'beast-face'), are a group of animals that includes mammals and every animal more closely related to mammals than to other living amniotes. They are easily separated from other amniotes by having a temporal fenestra, an opening low in the skull roof behind each eye, leaving a bony arch beneath each; this accounts for their name.




Therapsida-Therapsida is a group of synapsids, and includes mammals and their ancestors. Many of the traits today seen as unique to mammals had their origin within early therapsids, including an erect posture.

Mammalia-Mammals (class Mammalia) are a clade of endothermic amniotes. Among the features that distinguish them from the other amniotes, the reptiles and the birds, are hair, three middle ear bones, mammary glands in females, and a neocortex (a region of the brain).




Carnivora-The diverse order Carnivora from Latin carō (stem carn-) "flesh", + vorāre "to devour") includes over 280 species of placental mammals. Its members are formally referred to as carnivorans

Ursidae- Ursidae is kind of a bear or panda , it is kind of a species.


Ailuropoda- Ailuropoda is the only extant genus in the ursid (bear) subfamily Ailuropodinae. It contains one living and four fossil species of giant panda.
